I used cool masters power supply calculator to calculate my power usage, and i got a total of 382 watts. while watching linus's video, he says that you should add 100 watts to what you got so i came up with the Cooler Master Elite V2 - 550W Long Lasting Power Supply with Full Electrical Protection, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G28N1751&cm_re=cool_master_power_supply-_-17-171-088-_-Product, will this be enough or is it to much?

Almost everthing from Cooler Master (including there PSUs) are incredibly reliable.

Probably the lowest score I've seen him give that wasn't for a grey box.

 

EDIT: That said, while some points were lost just do to the quality of the unit, most were other things like cost and a lack of modularity. Though with that said, I'd really like to recommend something else, but I don't know what to recommend in that price range.

That's enough watts but a very mediocre PSU

 

This is a better choice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438012&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
